Zaire Franklin wants the Colts to add two star defenders
Bob Scheer-USA TODAY Sports

The Indianapolis Colts are in the midst of free agency as they attempt to improve their roster ahead of the 2024 season. 

And star LB Zaire Franklin decided to hit the recruiting trail on social media with two specific players in mind. 

Franklin made his desire known to the world "somebody point me in Sneed and Diggs direction". The players he references are Kansas City Chiefs' CB L'Jarius Sneed and free agent FS Quandre Diggs. 

Quandre Diggs, FS

Diggs is simpler to recruit for Franklin because he is a free agent. After being released by the Seattle Seahawks, Diggs is free to sign wherever he pleases. Thanks to Franklin's tweet and countless fans tagging him in the comments, Diggs saw this post and even acknowledged it. 

L'Jarius Sneed, CB

Sneed's situation is much more complicated, as the Chiefs franchise-tagged him. This means the Colts would have to trade for the CB, which sources have shared they are interested in. Like Diggs, fans began tagging Sneed in the comments, leading to him seeing the post. He didn't interact in the same way Diggs did, but he made sure to let Franklin know he saw it.

We will have to wait and see if the Colts can land either or both players. But having a star player and captain in Franklin on board with adding these two contributors should only add to the Colts' interest in adding these difference makers to their secondary.
